Phoenix Meets Solar

by Noel on September 5th, 2008

Plans for a solar project have been recently disclosed in Phoenix. Who disclosed such plans? The city of Phoenix, APS, and the Phoenix Suns. Such project is projected to be built in the US Airways Center.

In behalf of the city of Phoenix, APS, and the Phoenix Suns, four of their big men were the ones to talk of such plans. Steve Nash (Phoenix Suns guard), Steve Kerr (Phoenix Suns general manager), Don Brandt (President and CEO of APS), and Michael Johnson (council member of the city of Phoenix) had been the ones to unveil the project. They have said that the whole solar project is going to be installed in the center’s garage’s fifth floor and would be working by2009.

Kerr disclosed, “We expect the solar technology to reduce the traditional power usage for a portion of the center’s Casino Arizona Pavilion load by about 25 percent or the equivalent of 26 Suns home games each season.”
